Subject: [PATCH] feat(explore): add packages explore page

Implements public package discovery page in the Explore menu. Shows public and global packages with pagination, filtering by type, and search. Adds admin setting to enable/disable the packages tab. Updates package search to support PublicOrGlobal filter for showing packages that are either public OR global. Includes new locale strings and templates.
